Left Universalism, Africacentric Essays presents a defense of
universalism as the foundation of moral and political arguments and
commitments. Consisting of five intertwined essays, the book claims
that centering such arguments and commitments on a particular
place, in this instance the African world, is entirely compatible
with that foundational universalism. Ato Sekyi-Otu thus proposes a
less conventional mode of Africacentrism, one that rejects the
usual hostility to universalism as an imperialist Eurocentric hoax.
Sekyi-Otu argues that universalism is an inescapable presupposition
of ethical judgment in general and critique in particular, and that
it is especially indispensable for radical criticism of conditions
of existence in postcolonial society and for vindicating visions of
social regeneration. The constituent chapters of the book are
exhibits of that argument and question some fashionable conceptual
oppositions and value apartheids. This book will be of great
interest to students and scholars in the fields of social and
political philosophy, contemporary political theory, postcolonial
studies, African philosophy and social thought.
